Services such as tax filing and delivery can cost between $4 and $9 per payroll period. Add-ons like direct deposit often carry a nominal per-check charge. For a full-service solution, a small to medium-sized business can expect to pay a total of $3 to $5 per paycheck issued.

Furthermore, there can be fees for adding or dropping employees, adjusting employee information, or setting up your account.

Fees for various services can differ dramatically across payroll services, so it is important to understand which ones you want before signing up for a service. That way, you can ensure you are comparing the relevant pricing when evaluating different providers.

As with many other business services, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. If your company has significant plans for expansion, find out when you will be eligible for volume discounts.
